Overview

This cookbook provides ark, a resource for managing software
archives. It manages the fetch-unpack-configure-build-install process
common to installing software from source, or from binary
distributions that are not fully fledged OS packages.

This is a modified verion of Infochimp's awesome
install_from cookbook.
It has been heavily refactored and extended to meet different use
cases.

Given a simple project archive available at a url:

ark 'pig' do
url 'http://apache.org/pig/pig-0.8.0.tar.gz'
end

The provider will:

fetch it to to /var/cache/chef/

unpack it to the default path (/usr/local/pig-0.8.0)

create a symlink for :home_dir (/usr/local/pig) pointing to path

add specified binary commands to the enviroment PATH variable

By default, the ark will not run again if the :path is not empty.
Ark provides many actions to accommodate different use cases, such as
:dump, :cherry_pick, :put, and :install_with_make.

At this time ark only handles files available from URLs. It does not
handle local files.

Requirements

This cookbook requires Chef 11 for the provider, as it uses the
use_inline_resources method.

Should work on common Unix/Linux systems with typical userland
utilities like tar, gzip, etc. May require the installation of build
tools for compiling from source, but that installation is outside the
scope of this cookbook.

Attributes

Customize the attributes to suit site specific conventions and
defaults.

node['ark']['apache_mirror'] - if the URL is an apache mirror,
usethe attribute as the default.

node['ark']['prefix_root'] - default base location if the
prefix_root is not passed into the resource.

node['ark']['prefix_bin'] - default binary location if the
prefix_bin is not passed into the resource.

node['ark']['prefix_home'] - default home location if the
prefix_home is not passed into the resource.

Resources/Providers

ark - does the extract/build/configure dance

Actions

:install: extracts the file and creates a 'friendly' symbolic link
to the extracted directory path

:configure: configure ahead of the install action

:install_with_make: extracts the archive to a path, runs make,
and make install. It does not run the configure step at this
time

:dump: strips all directories from the archive and dumps the
contained files into a specified path

:cherry_pick: extract a specified file from an archive and places
in specified path

:put: extract the archive to a specified path, does not create any
symbolic links

:put

Extract the archive to a specified path, does not create any symbolic
links.

Attribute Parameters for :put

path: path to extract to.

Default: /usr/local

has_binaries: array of binary commands to symlink into
/usr/local/bin/, you must specify the relative path.

Example: [ 'bin/java', 'bin/javaws' ]

append_env_path: boolean, if true, append the ./bin directory of
the extracted directory to the global PATH variable for all users.

:dump

Strips all directories from the archive and dumps the contained files
into a specified path.

NOTE: This currently only works for zip archives

Attribute Parameters for :dump

path: path to dump files to.

mode: file mode for app_home, as an integer.

Example: 0775

creates: if you are appending files to a given directory, ark
needs a condition to test whether the file has already been
extracted. You can specify with creates, a file whose existence
indicates the ark has previously been extracted and does not need to
be extracted again.

:cherry_pick

Extract a specified file from an archive and places in specified path.

Relevant Attribute Parameters for :cherry_pick

path: directory to place file in.

creates: specific file to cherry-pick.

Attribute Parameters

name: name of the package, defaults to the resource name.

url: url for tarball, .tar.gz, .bin (oracle-specific), .war,
and .zip currently supported. Also supports special syntax
:name:version:apache_mirror: that will auto-magically construct
download url from the apache mirrors site.

version: software version, defaults to 1.

checksum: sha256 checksum, used for security .

mode: file mode for app_home, is an integer.

prefix_root: default prefix_root, for use with :install*
actions.

prefix_home: default directory prefix for a friendly symlink to
the path.

Example: /usr/local/maven -> /usr/local/maven-2.2.1

prefix_bin: default directory to place a symlink to a binary
command.

Example: /opt/bin/mvn -> /opt/maven-2.2.1/bin/mvn, where the
prefix_bin is /opt/bin

path: path to extract the ark to. The :install* actions
overwrite any user-provided values for :path.

home_dir: symbolic link to the path :prefix_root/:name-:version,
does not apply to :dump, :put, or :cherry_pick actions.

Default: :prefix_root/:name

has_binaries: array of binary commands to symlink into
/usr/local/bin/, you must specify the relative path.

Example: [ 'bin/java', 'bin/javaws' ]

append_env_path: boolean, similar to has_binaries but less
granular. If true, append the ./bin directory of the extracted
directory to. the PATH environment variable for all users, by
placing a file in /etc/profile.d/. The commands are symbolically
linked into /usr/bin/*. This option provides more granularity than
the boolean option.

This example copies ivy.tar.gz to
/var/cache/chef/ivy-2.2.0.tar.gz, unpacks its contents to
/usr/local/ivy-2.2.0/ -- stripping the leading directory, and
symlinks /usr/local/ivy to /usr/local/ivy-2.2.0

This example copies jdk-7u2-linux-x64.tar.gz to
/var/cache/chef/jdk-7.2.tar.gz, unpacks its contents to
/usr/local/jvm/jdk-7.2/ -- stripping the leading directory, symlinks
/usr/local/jvm/default to /usr/local/jvm/jdk-7.2, and adds
/usr/local/jvm/jdk-7.2/bin/ to the global PATH for all users. The
user 'foobar' is the owner of the /usr/local/jvm/jdk-7.2 directory

# install Apache Ivy dependency resolution tool
# in <path>/resource_name in this case
# /usr/local/ivy, no symlink created
# it strips any leading directory if one exists in the tarball
